About Connecting to Your Higher Self

by Barb Huning, MA
Early in my life I became aware of the presence of angels and guides to help and support me along the way, but when I discovered how to connect with my Higher Self, I truly began to feel my own power. It happened when I took a workshop in an energetic clearing technique - part of the process was asking the Higher Self of a remote client for permission to work on them. As I was practicing with a friend, one of us suddenly said, "Hey, we have the Higher Self here! Maybe we could ask a few questions (wink)!" And the rest is history.
Tell us about your Higher Self Connections, the experiences that changed your life, or submit your own questions.
Dance Through Life with Your Higher Self
The Higher Self is that part of us which is intimately aware and involved with our conscious selves on a day to day basis, sharing our struggles, rejoicing in our successes, and doing his or her best to guide us along the way. This part is also aware of the bigger picture of our soul life, our path of development, and the meaning and purpose of the challenges and opportunities we encounter in our life. This is a great person to talk to if you want to understand yourself, your relationships, and your life, and choose wisely how to overcome difficulties!
I believe that the Higher Self is our natural inner guidance system - that it is our birthright to integrate consciously with this part of ourselves, so that we flow in our development, fed by Spirit, aware of our gifts, and confidently using challenges to grow into love rather than feeling helpless and victimized by life. I believe that the conscious re-integration with our Higher Self is the first step in the ascension process.
I have been connecting with the Higher Selves of other people (as well as my own) for over 5 years now, facilitating conversations - acting as a kind of telephone for people, and teaching people how to listen for themselves.
Here are some of the basic Truths which have come through consistently, again and again, in my work with Higher Self:
- We are not alone.
- Everyone is good.
- We experience a life challenge as "bad" only when we do not understand the deeper meaning and opportunity which it offers. There is always a good reason, and the reason is never that we are intended to suffer senselessly. It is always an invitation to some greater capacity within ourselves for love, for peace, for mastery, for self-expression.
- The main reason for having trouble connecting with our Divine Self and other Divine Selves for guidance is judgment of the situation. If we decide that the reason "should" be something, or "better not" be another thing, that judgment is a fog which is difficult to see through. When we open and let go of our expectations, our vision becomes clear.
- Each of us has unique gifts to offer the world through our lives, and uniquely beautiful offerings to receive from life. Life is intended to be rich and gratifying- even challenging ones- especially challenging ones!
These truths can turn misery into joy in the blink of an eye. I've experienced it myself, and I've been blessed to experience it with my clients. I invite you to go within and connect with your Higher Self. You'll be glad you did! Here's an article to help you: How to Connect with Your Higher Self Blessings, Barb
